EXES AN OHHHHS

Where is it generally not cool to hash out post-breakup issues with your on-again, off-again beau?

On national TV. Former (and likely current) comedic lovebirds Sarah Silverman and Jimmy Kimmel sat down for an interview Thursday night on Kimmel's late-night talk show -- and the awkwardness made for some good laughs.

At one point, according to Us Weekly, Silverman asked Kimmel, "When we were split, did you kiss anyone else?"

Kimmel squirmed, then cut to an embarrassing video of Silverman singing as a kid. Said Silverman, "I feel like by not answering my question, that just tells me you have made sweet love to another."

Kimmel asked her if she'd "made sweet love to another." She motioned for the video to play.

The two then performed a secret handshake afterward, according to Us Weekly.

Bye-bye, Hef

The Girls Next Door are out the door.

Hugh Hefner's trio of girlfriends has begun to disperse from the Playboy Mansion to lead independent lives, Bridget Marquardt says.

"Holly [Madison] and Kendra [Wilkinson] are moving out right now," Marquardt told Us Weekly on Thursday at the Playboy fragrance launch in New York. "I don't know how much longer I'll be there."

Still, Marquardt said she and Hef are in talks to do a sixth season of "Girls Next Door." The fifth season began this month.

Passion for 'Fashion'

Bravo might lose "Project Runway," but it still has style.

The cable network has ordered "The Fashion Show," a design-competition series in which viewers pick the winner, it announced Thursday. Bravo did not say when the series would debut, but did announce nationwide casting calls, including one in Chicago on Nov. 13.

Interested designers can attend the casting call at Crobar, 1543 N. Kingsbury St. There are eligibility requirements -- and some homework assignments -- to be completed before the auditions, so visit bravotv.com/casting for more information.

NBC Universal, Bravo's parent company, has sued "Runway" producers the Weinstein Co. for taking the show to Lifetime. The case is in court now.

THE DIGIT

$0

The amount of money you'll pay for Coldplay's new video. The clip for "Lovers In Japan" is being made available for free download on iTunes for the next week, Rolling Stone reports.

Garth says no to 'Melrose Place'

Kelly Taylor apparently won't be making a return to "Melrose Place."

Even though she's starring in the CW's spinoff of the original "Beverly Hills, 90210," Jennie Garth says she's not interested in the network's planned remake of the soapy drama. Garth's character from "Beverly Hills, 90210" appeared in a few episodes in the crossover series as a love interest of bad-boy resident Jake Hanson. But, this time around?

"No. I ... no," she said when asked on eonline.com about a return. "I think they should keep it separate. And no, I don't want to do it."
